0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

BLV Advisory Group is a Latvian-based company specializing in construction supervision, project management, and consulting services. The company positions itself as an expert advisory group within the Latvian construction sector, targeting clients who require reliable management and consultancy throughout construction projects. The website reflects a small-sized business with a professional and consistent brand presence, founded around 2021. The content is primarily in Latvian, with multilingual support for English and Russian, indicating a regional focus with some international accessibility. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Salient theme and several modern plugins including Yoast SEO for search engine optimization, Google reCAPTCHA for form security, and CookieYes for cookie consent management. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and moderate performance, with proper SEO meta tags and structured data implemented via JSON-LD. However, some accessibility features are basic, and there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit privacy documentation. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with an excellent SSL configuration and employs Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. Cookie consent is actively managed, supporting GDPR compliance to some extent. However, the absence of explicit privacy policy, terms of service, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in comprehensive security and compliance posture. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration trust verification. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for a small advisory business in the construction sector, with moderate technical maturity and security posture. Strategic improvements in privacy documentation, security headers, and incident response transparency would enhance trust and compliance. The domain registration details should be monitored to ensure legitimacy once WHOIS data becomes available.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  2. Security headers

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

BLV Advisory Group operates in the real estate and construction advisory sector in Latvia, offering services such as construction supervision, project management, and consulting. The business model is service-oriented, targeting construction companies, developers, and project stakeholders requiring expert guidance. The company appears to be a small-sized entity founded recently in 2021, focusing on regional market penetration. The website's multilingual support suggests an intent to reach Latvian, English, and Russian-speaking clients. The use of professional SEO tools and structured data indicates an effort to improve online visibility and credibility. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content. The absence of detailed business registration or VAT information limits deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and SSL configured well. Use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms helps mitigate automated abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting privacy compliance. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no security.txt or vulnerability disclosure information is available. The absence of contact emails or phone numbers for security or abuse reporting is a gap. The WHOIS data is unavailable, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the site is reasonably secure for a small advisory business but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Add explicit incident response and abuse contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Salient theme and uses several modern plugins such as Yoast SEO, Google reCAPTCHA, and CookieYes for cookie consent. The site loads external resources from trusted domains like Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager. The HTML is well-structured with proper meta tags and JSON-LD structured data for SEO. Mobile optimization is good, and the site appears responsive. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is adequate for a small advisory business but could be enhanced with additional security and performance optimizations.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
